'''Transubstantiation''' is the process by which a [[character (beyond the veil)|Character]] in [[Beyond the Veil (LARP)|Beyond the Veil]] advances in [[Rank (beyond the veil)|Rank]] and gains [[Attunement (beyond the veil)|Attunements]].

To undergo Transubstantiation a character must be within their own [[Personal Demesne (beyond the veil)|Personal Demesne]], at which point they may shift between [[Rank (beyond the veil)|Ranks]] by spending a number of [[Resources (beyond the veil)|Souls]] equal to the new Rank and a variable amount of a single type of [[Resources (beyond the veil)|Substance]]. The first time a character undergoes Transubstantiation to increase Rank above [[Rank (beyond the veil)|Shade]] they are automatically [[Attunement (beyond the veil)|Attuned]] to the type of Substance used. Generaly, characters will start out with higher Rank, indicating this first Attunement has been chosen.

Additional Transubstantiations to increase Rank must use only a type of Substance to which the character is Attuned unless the character has reached sufficient Rank to gain an additional Attunement. Each time a character Transubstantiates to a higher rank they may still only use a single type of substance, regardless of their number of Attunements. If the character possesses, or gains, more than one Attunment the type of Substance used must be recorded. This is because a character may choose to sacrifice Rank, regaining the Souls and Substance spent. A character that Transubstantiates to a sufficiently low Rank looses an Attunement, in the reverse of the order in which they were gained, but may later choose to regain the same Attunement or gain a different one if and when they restore their higher Rank.

Any forced loss of [[Resources (beyond the veil)|Souls]] or [[Resources (beyond the veil)|Substance]] which a character cannot immediately pay forces them to return to their Personal Demesne and Transubstantiate down in Rank until they have the required Souls and Substance or are [[Rank (beyond the veil)|Shades]]. Immediately after each Transubstantiation the source of the loss is still paid as much as the newly reduced character has resources to pay.

When Transubstantiating to gain Rank the character gains fresh [[Resources (beyond the veil)|Psyche]] for their increased Rank and any increases to their [[Stat (beyond the veil)|Endurance]]. However, when Rank is reduced through Transubstantiation current Psyche is lost from these reductions. If the Transubstantiation causes the [[Character (beyond the veil)|Denizen]] to [[discorporate (beyond the veil)|discorporate]] they immediately gain a point of Psyche from being within their Personal Demesne, but either the Souls or the Substance they would have gained from the Transubstantiation is lost.

The [[Resources (beyond the veil)|Resources]] needed for each Rank are;
